Small plants on volcanic lava seen in Garachico near to the volcanic rock pools. It always fascinates me, how these plants can to live on the stone... Nature is amazing! :)
Malutkie roślinki na wulkanicznej lawie. Pstryknięte w Garachico, niedaleko naturalnych basenów wulkanicznych. Zawsze mnie fascynuje, jak rośliny potrafią żyć w tak niegościnnych warunkach, na skale... Natura jest niezwykła! :)
9th August 2019 - I have never felt entirely comfortable with street photography despite the rich tapestries of everyday life that it offers, but gig photography is different. Everyone in a gig is paying attention, whether it be the performers on stage or to their friends and for me personally, i feel it leads to a better more intelligent photo. The lights in a 'Gig' can sometimes be a photography nightmare, but sometimes it can be an absolute dream come true. A little like having the studio of your dreams (and the knowledge to use it..) but not the financial outlay of a pro studio. At this point the pro's will probably rip me to shreds, but I firmly believe that camera ownership is as individual as taste in music

"There's always something beautiful to be experienced wherever you are. Right now, look around you and select beauty as your focus." - Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
This was not intended to be a still life. It was not consciously set up as such. Come home from shopping, take fruit out of bag, put fruit in the bowl. What doesn't fit, just lay it on the counter. Saw the flowers walking in with the groceries. Narcissists. Pick some, bring them in, find a glass container, stick them in. Simply so, as it adds life to the kitchen.
It starts getting dark, so turn on some light; in this case the desk lamp temporarily sitting on the counter because the electrician is busy, and the overhead lights recessed in the ceiling aren't working at the moment.
And... Oh.
Good old Dr. Wayne may not have been speaking strictly about things physical or visual at that moment, but I'll take it there.
As such, I suppose this beauty everywhere, anywhere, anytime is an experience that many artists (especially visual artists) are fortunate to have as a possibility each day of their lives. See the Beauty. Select it. Acknowledge it. Regardless of circumstances.
Perhaps it is by temperament, perhaps it is by training and practice, either way, it feels as if visual artists have a bit of a leg up in this respect.
Of course, visual artists are not alone in this. Many children have the ability, but it gets drummed out of them by adults, society, our education system.
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." - Picasso
I think the ability to see beauty at any moment remains within us, even if you now feel yourself to be an artistically or creatively stunted adult. I believe it is recoverable - that it never goes away - if you desire to recover it.
And THAT is the issue. YOU must DESIRE to see the beauty. To see with the child's eyes you used to have, with no "ifs, ands, yeah buts" or "what abouts." You have to decide that it is possible for YOU (something so many deny themselves - that possibility for THEMSELVES).
And then, start seeing, start noticing, start selecting.
"YEAH but, what is beauty?" (Classic "yeah but, what about" joy killer question. I hate that.)
Get a group of ten, four year-olds. Take them outside into the yard, or leave them in the house even. Ask them, simply, "find something beautiful or pretty and bring it to me."
"Ten different people bring ten different colors." - Japanese Proverb
Yeah. That's it. Do what they just did. Be four.
Sometimes we have to stop and make time to do other things. Much as I love spending time in this wonderful Flickr community, I have a few other projects that await my creativity. So, Flickr friends, I will see you in the Spring :)

. . . A glimpse inside the world of an Osprey pair, living on top of a tall light pole over a park. Here the pair is watching one of their young birds eat a chunk of fish, just outside of the scene to the left.
In the past week the light pole was taken down for construction, and the birds, including the young, are on their own.
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

"That's what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we've changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning."
